Hi All,

In a pure IPv6 network, how do one expect to construct the Type 1 RD.
As per EVPN RFC 7432 for EAD per ES, it should be Type 1 RD, but if the
loopback address is only IPv6 then what is the expectation here?
Should we use BGP router ID(32bit) here?

>From RFC7432: EVPN

8.2.1 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7432#section-8.2.1>.
Constructing Ethernet A-D per Ethernet Segment Route

   The Route Distinguisher (RD) MUST be a Type 1 RD [RFC4364
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4364>].  The
   *value field comprises an IP address of the PE (typically, the
   loopback address)* followed by a number unique to the PE.


Thanks,
